Anyone use a cement mixer to get the rust off of traps? Any hints or suggestions? I a few hundred that need to be cleaned up. They are pretty rusted, not to the point of being useless, but it needs to go before I dye them. Vinegar takes too long and I would go broke buying the stuff. I really don't want to dip them in muriatic acid either as I'll need a lot of that too.

Thanks,

Thanks DucksandDogs!

Anyone ever tried walnut shells?
just

I cleaned up some traps once with the mixer, i also wanted to rechain them all too so i cut off the old chains. I used 2 gallons of 1/4" gravel and water, came out good.

I used plain dirt with traps to depaint and de fmj them. Worked great.

Regular old pebbles from the stream work good. But any amount of sand can get stuck in the tight spots.
